"What are you all doing here, and why are there such long queues?" Passerby A asked Passerby B.

"Don't you know that now the Treasure Pavilion has launched a perfume. That's a thousand times better than incense. ”

"As long as you take it to the flower building, even the Oiran will personally stroke the piano for you. If you add that glass mirror, I don't know how many women are willing to make a promise. Passerby B spoke.

Although there are some exaggerations in what passer-by B said, the sales of perfumes and glass mirrors today can definitely be described as extremely hot.

And according to Li Ke's confession, Li Shang adopted the starvation sales method. Regardless of the number of people who buy, only a limited number will be sold per day.

This further stimulated the daughters of those wealthy families, who did not hesitate to send their families to queue up overnight. I hope I can buy these two treasures.

……

"Lord, this perfume and glass mirror are really a cornucopia. Now it has only been on sale for more than ten days, and it has brought us tens of thousands of profits. Li Yin said to Li Ke with a happy face.

"The profits made during this period will be exchanged for food reserves as soon as possible. It won't be long before we have a tough battle to fight. Li Ke opened his mouth and said to Li Yin.

"Lord Wang, rest assured, the grain we have in reserve now. It was definitely more than enough to deal with this drought. Li Yin opened his mouth and said to Li Ke.

"This king is not going to open a porridge shed, what this king wants to do is to open a warehouse and release grain. Let the people in the king's fiefdom live a worry-free life in the year of the catastrophe. Li Ke said.

"Lord Wang, if you just open a porridge shed to help the victims. Nowadays, the amount of grain reserves is not a problem. But if the prince wants to open a warehouse to release grain, we need to reserve at least several times more grain as an emergency. ”

And even if we survive this cold winter, we will continue to hold out until the autumn harvest the next year. At least two million stone of grain is needed. Otherwise, it is impossible to meet the requirements of the prince. Li Yin said.

"Two million stones is two million stones, even if it is doubled, you have to do it. Because this king is ready to take advantage of this opportunity to completely grasp the land of the seven states in the palm of his hand. ”

"So this matter is imperative, if there is any difficulty, you can come directly to this king." Li Ke said to Li Yin with a firm face.

"Now that the prince has decided, his subordinates will definitely spare no effort. In any case, there will be enough food for the prince. Li Yin nodded and said to Li Ke.

……

After explaining everything, Li Ke turned around and went back to the Qi Palace. Just when Li Ke had just returned to the palace, he saw Yue'er waiting outside the door.

So he stepped forward and asked Yue'er: "You don't take care of Jingrou in the back house, what are you doing looking around here?" ”

"It's not to wait for Your Highness, Chang'an City has sent someone again. Now I'm drinking tea in the living room. I have urged several times to let the prince come back as soon as possible to receive the order. ”

"I have sent out several groups of people to find His Highness. Now that His Highness has returned, it would be great. Just let me hurry to the living room to receive the order. After Yue'er finished speaking, she stretched out her hand and pulled Li Ke to run into the palace.

Not long after, Li Ke appeared in the living room, and first saluted the two heralds. Then he smiled and asked, "The two adults went and returned, I don't know what happened?" ”

"The emperor has an order to order His Royal Highness King Qi to return to Chang'an as soon as possible to report on his work. and to take Li Ailian, the daughter of Wei Guogong, to Chang'an City together. The herald opened his mouth and said to Li Ke.

The one who came to Qizhou City to announce the decree to Li Ke this time was none other than that. It was still the two accompanying officials who had just followed Li Dejian back to Chang'an City.

Li Ke had already thought that after Li Dejian returned to Chang'an City, it wouldn't be long before Li Shimin would order him to go to Chang'an? However, Li Ke didn't expect it to be so fast.

So he smiled and said to the two officials: "Then please take the two of you first, and after your subordinates explain the affairs of the house, they will rush to Chang'an City." ”

"Now that we have passed on the holy decree, as for when His Royal Highness King Qi will enter Chang'an City to face the saint. Then it's all up to His Royal Highness the King's arrangement. One of the officials spoke.

This is naturally good, and now the emperor is very fond of His Royal Highness Qi Wang. Maybe the emperor is excited and will leave Chang'an City to greet His Royal Highness King Qi. Another official said to Li Ke with a flattering face.

Li Ke knew very well in his heart that these two people were definitely wolf ambitions. After all, the Guan Long clan has already regarded himself as a thorn in the flesh.

……

After sending off the two officials who announced the decree, Li Ke gave an account of the military and political affairs of Qizhou City. Then took Kong Jingrou and Shan Ailian, and came leisurely towards Chang'an City in a carriage.

The accompanying nature is indispensable to Li Ke's personal guard. At the same time, the master of the Netherworld also secretly protected Li Ke and the two housewives in the carriage along the way.

On this day, Li Ke and his entourage came to Luoyang, although Luoyang is not the capital of the Tang Dynasty. But compared with Chang'an City, it doesn't promise much.

The streets are full of traffic and people, and they are asking for period dresses for sale. The whole scene was extremely lively.

So Li Ke naturally became interested, and ordered someone to find a good inn in Luoyang City. Then the group stayed in Luoyang.

Originally, Li Ke was going to play in Luoyang for two or three days, so he set off for Chang'an City. After all, now that Kong Jingrou is pregnant, it is naturally impossible to travel too fast at ordinary times.

If Li Ke is delayed in Luoyang City for too long, I'm afraid Li Shimin will definitely not be happy. If you don't get it right when the time comes, you'll really be a dumb kid who doesn't do your job.

However, it often backfires, because it was just a day after Li Ke arrived in Luoyang to play. Li Ke encountered a very strange thing.

That is, the wealthy merchants in Luoyang City are now being patronized by thieves these days. The loss of each family is not less than a thousand dollars. The calligraphy and paintings of antique celebrities in the house were looted by the other party.

What made Li Ke feel strange was that Luoyang Mu had no choice. Not even to mention solving the case, even if there is not even the slightest clue.

And there are folk songs in the streets and alleys, saying that these rich businessmen are bitter and mean. That's why they were retaliated against by this natural disaster.

And the one who stole a few rich businessmen's things this time must be the fox fairy apparition. Otherwise, there is no trace of it.

In this way, the theft case is covered with a layer of mystery and suspense. This made Li Ke even more immobile.

And out of curiosity, Li Ke wanted to meet for a while, this Jiangyang thief who came and went without a trace. So naturally he changed his mind temporarily and planned to stay in Luoyang City for a few more days.

And sent someone to Chang'an City to inform the emperor of the matter of Luoyang City. lest Li Ke drag on for too long in the future, and he will be scolded by his old son. ”
